(JUBA) – The Bank of South Sudan has completed a three day staff orientation workshop aimed at introducing new and previously untrained employees to the institution’s guiding policies and core values.
The training was organised by the Directorate of Administration and Human Resources and took place in Juba between 7 and 9 September 2025. It targeted both classified and unclassified staff who had missed earlier induction sessions.
According to the organisers, the workshop focused on familiarising participants with the Bank of South Sudan Act, the mandate of the institution, and its strategic direction. Staff were also introduced to the Bank’s vision, mission, and employee rights.
Human Resources Director Catherine Kapuki said the orientation was designed to strengthen staff understanding of their role in the wider institutional framework. She noted that the sessions helped staff gain knowledge of their rights while also promoting values such as accountability, teamwork, professionalism, excellence and efficiency.
“This is an enriching experience to learn about your rights, the mandate of the Bank, and how we all work together to promote the Bank’s core values,” Kapuki said during the closing session.
Director General of Administration and Human Resources, David Manyuon Nak, encouraged participants to fully internalise the policies that govern the central bank’s operations. He reminded staff of the importance of responsibility and integrity in carrying out their duties.
“Know your rights, know your responsibilities, and behave with integrity as representatives of the Bank. You are the face of the Bank, what we do, how we do it, and why it matters,” Nak told the participants.
The Bank of South Sudan has been working to strengthen its internal human resources systems as part of broader institutional reforms.
According to a statement on the central bank’s social platforms, the training is viewed as a step towards building a stronger, more professional workforce capable of supporting monetary policy, financial stability, and the wider economic development agenda of the country.
Workshops of this nature are also intended to foster better service delivery in a country where institutions continue to face challenges of capacity and resources.
For staff, the orientation provided an opportunity not only to understand workplace rights and responsibilities but also to align their individual roles with the institution’s strategic goals.
The leadership of the Bank expressed confidence that the exercise would help reinforce organisational discipline and raise the overall quality of performance.
